Some feedback from hannes & mhocko would be appreciated?

Subject: mm/memcg: optimize memory.numa_stat like memory.stat

Currently reading memory.numa_stat traverses the underlying memcg tree
multiple times to accumulate the stats to present the hierarchical view of
the memcg tree. However the kernel already maintains the hierarchical
view of the stats and use it in memory.stat. Just use the same mechanism
in memory.numa_stat as well.

I ran a simple benchmark which reads root_mem_cgroup's memory.numa_stat
file in the presense of 10000 memcgs. The results are:

Without the patch:
$ time cat /dev/cgroup/memory/memory.numa_stat > /dev/null

real 0m0.700s
user 0m0.001s
sys 0m0.697s

With the patch:
$ time cat /dev/cgroup/memory/memory.numa_stat > /dev/null

real 0m0.001s
user 0m0.001s
sys 0m0.000s
